Stadium Arcadium

[Blayze]

[size=1]I just went out and bought this album today, and I must say...wow!

It's incredible the mix they have of mellowed-out songs that are all really quite beautiful, and then you get into that upbeat, tight funk style the Red Hot Chili Peppers are so very famous for.

From [b]Snow ((Hey Oh))[/b], with it's mellow rhythms and extremely pretty-sounding intro, to the manic [b]Hump de Bump[/b], or the extremely funky [b]Charlie[/b], the [b]Jupiter [/b]disc is a fantastic mix.

And then you move onto the [b]Mars [/b]disc, which has my almost immediate favourite track on the whole album, [b]Tell Me Baby[/b], with its fantastic funk stylings, and then the funky intro but fairly chilled-out melody of [b]Readymade[/b].

To be honest, I would recommend this album to anyone and everyone, die-hard Chilis fans and newcomers to their sound alike.

What do you all think?

Damn... and to think I passed it up because it was 20 bucks... I should've bought it! I love Dani California, and I've read that Omar A Rodiguez-Lopez of The Mars Volta makes a guest appearance, which is bloody awesome. (apparantly the two bands are pretty tight-knit). Definitelly I will buy it, and thank you for your advice!

I just bought the CD last night....luckily I found it on sale for 11.99. But I haven't gotten a chance to listen to it yet, but I've always been a fan of the Chilli Peppers so it can't be too bad.

...right?
